    Surely for the ripple of the higgs boson to exist, the LHC would have to have succeeded. If it came back in time to stop itself from been created it would have to be created. Otherwise how would it go back and stop itself.

    My head hurts.

    (But I do have this nagging feeling in the back of my head that this whole five billion euro project was a prank by a few geeks. Lord knows they're laughing at us all right now on their hyper secret, private internet.

    'Really, trust us! This will advance European physics...no! we need it to be 25 kilometers wide, really...surely you pencil pushers are not so small of mind you can't envisage the necessity of this particle experiment?....what if the Americans beat us to it....etc')



    That would be brilliant!

    Scientists finally tire of the stupidity of the general population and just start making stuff up... I think they could keep us fooled for years as well....

    More, though not so serious, trouble came this week:

    On Tuesday 3 November, a bird carrying a baguette bread caused a short
    circuit in an electrical outdoor installation that serves sectors 7-8 and
    8-1 of the LHC. The knock-on effects included an interruption to the
    operation of the LHC cryogenics system. The bird escaped unharmed but
    lost its bread.

    The standard failsafe systems came into operation and after the cause
    was identified, re-cooling of the machine began and the sectors were
    back at operating temperature last night. The incident was similar in
    effect to a standard power cut, for which the machine protection systems
    are very well prepared.

    Dont worry its obvious the Doc and Marty MacFly need 121gigawatts of power to get back to 1985

    Other dimensions.

    The grandfather paradox is impossible to occur, as doing it would only affect another dimension, a dimension where there is no "you". But you still exist, as you are from another dimension, thus would not be subject to that dimension.

    So the theory about it rippling back in time and cross dimensions would stop us from doing it, till we reached a point in the future before this, where we could.
